The advent of modern web-based development platforms has created a demand to migrate from proprietary environments such as PowerBuilder. This need has also been fueled by end of support announcements by Sybase for older versions of PowerBuilder.

The good news is that Trinity Millennium Group offers a fast, cost-effective process for migrating from PowerBuilder to standard industry technology stacks based on .Net or Java, as well as to environments that leverage the open platforms such as Nexaweb. The Automation Enabled Modernization™ (AEM™) provides the following advantages:

• Leveraging automation: Trinity’s modernization specialists make use of our extensive library of source code analysis and conversion tools on every project, which increases speed and cost-effectiveness.
• High quality results: We don’t believe in 100% automation – conversion by simply pushing a button produces code that retains the architecture of the legacy application and is difficult (and expensive) to maintain. The TMP retains the human touch for the critical design and re-factoring tasks.
• No vendor lock: We produce native code in your technology of choice, organized properly and fully documented, which minimizes your future maintenance costs.

A critical factor in any application modernization is the paradigm shift from old to new – the degree of change that must be introduced to transform from the legacy programming model to the new. For instance, converting Assembler to Java involves a huge paradigm shift, requiring a complete re-organization of the program structure and processing logic. Organizations facing a PowerBuilder migration, however, can take heart; the GUI-based and event-driven nature of a PowerBuilder application maps well into modern development platforms. This allows Trinity’s modernization specialists to apply a high degree of automation to your migration project.
